Chitra was SO LOVELY, allowing me to arrive in the middle of the night due to a late flight and providing instructions to the taxi driver. I would have prefered not to have awakened her, of course, but self-check in really wouldn't work in her location and space.
The flat and grounds are expansive (Chitra's place is a smaller subset of the whole). The grounds and the mansion itself have lovely bones, and would have been magnificent in their day. The tennis courts are kept clean and appeared to be used daily and regularly by others sharing access.
